2021 Mercedes-AMG GT43 / GT53 / GT63
Starting at: $90,950

Highs Performance ranging from impressive to insane, curvaceous styling, high-tech cabin.
Lows Unintuitive infotainment system, pricier than other AMG sedans, you need to duck when getting into the rear seat.
Verdict With room for passengers and cargo, this ballistic thrill ride offers sports-car fun for four.

Overview
The Mercedes-AMG lineup of thrilling GT four-doors emulates the company's ballistic GT sports cars, but enables you to share the excitement with family and friends thanks to seating for four. These sedans also hide a generous cargo area under their devilishly sloped rear hatchbacks. But enough about practicality—this quartet of sport sedans were made to be driven hard. Horsepower ranges from a robust 362-hp to an eye-popping 630-hp as you climb through the lineup from the GT43 to the GT53, GT63, and on to the range-topping GT63 S. All-wheel drive is standard; fat wheels and tires, an adaptive suspension, and sharp steering give these beasts otherworldly capabilities on the road and on the track.

What's New for 2021?
The entry-level GT43 makes its debut for 2021. It's powered by a 362-hp version of Mercedes's turbocharged inline-six, and it undercuts the more powerful GT53 by about $10,000. The 2021 GT43 should hit showrooms by the end of 2020.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
GT43: $90,950
GT53: $107,800
GT63: $148,760
GT63 S: $170,060

Although there isn't a dud in this family of fast four-door hatchbacks, the most potent GT63 S model delivers the comfort and practicality of a family-friendly hatchback sedan with the intense power and performance of a supercar. AMG cranks up its twin-turbocharged V-8 to 630 horsepower, which drops its zero-to-60 mph time to just 2.9 seconds according to our test data and adds larger 20-inch wheels and tires for additional grip. It's also the only variant to feature a standard Drift Mode within its all-wheel-drive system. Just push the button, and the GT63 S becomes rear-wheel drive for more spirited track driving and high-school-style burnouts and power slides.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Under the hoods of both the 2021 GT43 and GT53 is a robust inline-six-cylinder engine that features a turbocharger, an intercooler, an electric supercharger, and a small electric motor. From a stop, the electric motor and supercharger fill in the brief lapse before the turbo is spinning out full boost. The 3.0-liter, which packs a combined 429 horsepower in the GT53, snaps necks whenever you touch the accelerator. In our testing the GT53, which features a conventional nine-speed automatic transmission, accelerated to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, and its sport-tuned suspension delivered flat, responsive cornering and sports-car levels of grip. We haven't tested the new-for-2021 GT43, however. The GT63 and GT63 S are powered by a thunderous 4.0-liter V-8. The engine is a technological tour de force with dry-sump oiling, direct injection, and two turbochargers mounted in its V. It's rated to produce 577 horsepower in the GT63, but it's cranked up to 630 horsepower in the GT63 S. These models also get a dual-clutch nine-speed automatic transmission and air suspension. AMG says the GT63 hits 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, while in our testing, the GT63 S needed just 2.9 seconds. That's as quick as a Porsche Panamera Turbo.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
With such extreme performance, it's no surprise the Mercedes-AMG GT53 and GT63 are thirsty, but their EPA fuel-economy estimates aren't as dire as you might expect. The GT53 model is rated 19/24 mpg city/highway. Those numbers drop to 15/20 mpg for the more powerful GT63 model with a V-8. For comparison, the Porsche Panamera Turbo, which is powered by a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 with 550 horsepower, is rated 18/25 mpg city/highway. The EPA hasn't released fuel economy estimates for the new GT43 model.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
While much of the 2021 GT coupe's interior is shared with the other four-door coupe from Mercedes, the CLS, the large console between its seats appears to have been pulled from the GT sports car. It's a bit intrusive but makes for a sporty cockpit feel. The interior design overall is futuristic and visually exciting, but some of its ergonomics can take some getting used to. This is also a four-seater, which may be an issue for some families. Aggressively bolstered sport seats are standard and comfortable, while a fat and flat-bottomed steering wheel, aluminum trim, and digital gauge cluster fit the sedan's high-performance mission. Build quality is exceptional, and the materials are in line with AMG's pricing.
